Qingfeng Li held the Tree Monarch Growth Ring in his hands. Just as he was enjoying his victory, however, there came an arrogant voice from nearby.

“I rather like this Tree Monarch Growth Ring. Give it to me,” the arrogant voice spoke from behind him.

Qingfeng Li’s expression changed in surprise. He hadn’t known that there had been someone standing behind him. And just when had they walked up behind him? He hadn’t even noticed.

Abruptly, he turned around to look behind him. There, an old man stood. He was dressed in black, his expression bore a cold grimness as he glared at Qingfeng Li greedily.

“Xie Ming, it’s you! You haven’t gone to the depths of the Sun Emperor’s Tomb?” Qingfeng Li asked.

Qingfeng Li knew the man who stood before him. He was the King of the Underworld Supreme Dynasty, Xie Ming. As a master at the eighth level of the spirit monarch realm, he was also very powerful.

Most importantly, this old man was one of Qingfeng Li’s enemies. Qingfeng L had once slain the Underworld Dynasty’s Chief Advisor and his subordinates. The conflict between them wouldn’t be resolved until one of them died.

Xie Ming glared at Qingfeng Li, “Give me the Tree Monarch Growth Ring you’re holding,” he said, “and I won’t mutilate your corpse. Otherwise, there won’t be enough left of you to bury once I’m done.”

Qingfeng Li didn’t reply. Smiling, he placed the Tree Monarch Growth Ring straight into his interspatial ring.

Qingfeng Li knew enough about the Tree Monarch Growth Ring to know that this was definitely a treasure. It was likely the Dharma treasure left behind by some Ancient saint, which then fell into the hands of the demon tree. That was what allowed it to become a Tree Monarch in the first place.

Although Qingfeng Li didn’t have much use for it at the moment, it was still a treasure he could give to someone close to him. Naturally, he wasn’t about to give up the Tree Monarch Growth Ring without a fight. Besides, if he gave it to Xie Ming, the old man would become even stronger, and he would become even more of a threat to Qingfeng Li.

Seeing Qingfeng Li tuck the Tree Monarch Growth Ring away, a hint of rage appeared in Xie Ming’s eyes.

He took a step forward, the motion creating a fissure in the earth. Powerful energy radiated from his entire body, covering the entire sky. Around them, self-cultivators hurriedly backed away with fear in their eyes.

They had all recognized Xie Ming and knew that this was the King of a supreme level dynasty. This was a truly powerful self-cultivator, ranking among the top ten on the Spirit Monarch Rankings. He wasn’t someone they could contend with. If the explosive power released by Xie Ming was to hit them, they would definitely sustain injuries.

Not far from them, Xue Lin, Mengyao Xu, and Ya Yun all wore expressions of worry. They made a run toward Qingfeng Li, wanting to help him. Seeing this, Qingfeng Li waved them off.

“Don’t come over here,” he said to them.

Qingfeng Li knew that Xie Ming was definitely a super powerful master. Even if Xue Lin and the others came, they wouldn’t be able to help. They would only divide his attention.

Activating his vital essence, Xie Ming abruptly lifted his right hand. His forefinger flicked forward, releasing a beam of black light.

The black light flew with astonishing speed. Like a flash of lightning, it pierced through the void and, with indomitable force, struck toward Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows. Unfazed, he activated his own Conqueror Spell and used the Conqueror’s Finger. A beam of green light shot from his right forefinger.

Piercing through the dimensional barrier, the green light collided with Xie Ming’s black light. A thunderous sound rang out, making heaven and earth quake as though they were being blown apart. Dust and stones were hurled in all directions as the dimensional barrier shattered. All around them, self-cultivators backed away.

Qingfeng Li stood his ground, not moving in the slightest. Across from him, Xie Ming also stood motionless. The savage force of the collision, though powerful, was unable to affect the two.

Xie Ming frowned. As he stared at Qingfeng Li, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He was rather shaken by Qingfeng Li’s strength.

A moment before, he had thought that he would be able to kill Qingfeng Li with ease. He hadn’t expected Qingfeng Li to be strong enough to be able to deflect his attack without trouble.

“Now, you try one of my attacks. Seventh Fist, Shatter the Body!” With a roar, Qingfeng Li used the Seventh Fist of the Strangle Hell Fist. This was the strongest fist attack he had learned to date.

As his fist struck out, it flew through the void with indomitable power. The void itself was shattered by the savage force as it flew toward Xie Ming.

Xie Ming’s expression changed. He sensed dangerous energy within this strike. Before him, even the void had been parted. He had no doubt that if an ordinary self-cultivator were hit by this fist, their body would be blown apart.

“Underworld Armor!”

Xie Ming roared. Activating his own technique, a suit of armor appeared over his body.

This armor was formed from a kind of Imperial Level Ninth Class Dharma treasure. This was a valuable treasure he’d once obtained within the Mysterious Sun Realm. Now, he called it forth.

Boom!

With a massive boom, Qingfeng Li’s fist struck the Underworld Armor. Instantly, the black armor was blown apart, turning into countless pieces that fell to the ground.

Thud!

Xie Ming took a heavy step back, shock appearing in his eyes. He hadn’t expected that even a Ninth Class Monarch Realm Dharma Treasure would be blown apart. In addition, he had been forced back a step. Qingfeng Li’s fist was unbelievably powerful.

Around them stood many other self-cultivators. By now, they had backed far away. They stared in the direction of the fight with shocked expressions.

“What did I just witness? The King of a Supreme Dynasty, Xie Ming, was forced back a step by Qingfeng Li!”

“Qingfeng Li is unbelievably powerful. That Underworld Armor looked so strong. But he cleaved it straight in half!”

“I have a feeling that Qingfeng Li would be able to challenge even those of a higher level than him. He’s very strong.”

All around, the people chattered amongst themselves. Their eyes were filled with admiration as they looked to Qingfeng Li.

No matter where they were, the strong received the admiration of those around them. This was especially true for people like Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li was incredibly strong. This was the kind of strength that shocked people around him.

Xie Ming stared ahead at Qingfeng Li. “Looks like I underestimated you,” he said. “Let me show you the power of my Scepter of Death!”

Xie Ming lifted the scepter in his hand. It stood two meters tall, taller than him by a few dozen centimeters. Upon the scepter, there were carved masses of talisman scriptures. These carried with them the dark, frigid energy of death, and those who looked at it felt like their souls were being drawn into the weapon.

Around them, some of the self-cultivators recognized the scepter. Their expressions changed, and they drew in a sharp cold breath.

This scepter was called the Scepter of Death. It was a powerful mana Dharma Treasure, famous across the entire world of self-cultivators. Many self-cultivators had been turned into desiccated corpses after their souls were sucked out by the wretched thing.

Qingfeng Li glanced at the Scepter of Death in Xie Ming’s hands. He knew that this was a powerful Dharma Treasure. However, he was not worried at all.
